Cajigas Left on Fumes

Myles Phago

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yakov Albaz raised to 4,000 from early position and was called by Alcides Gomez on the button, Justin Goldman in the small blind, and Jason Cajigas in the big blind.

The flop came A♥K♦K♣ and all players checked to see the 5♠ come on the turn. Action checked to Albaz, who bet out for 3,000. Gomez folded, and both Goldman and Cajigas called.

The river brought the 9♦. Goldman checked, and Cajigas bet out for 15,000. Albaz raised to 30,000, Goldman folded, and Cajigas went into the tank. He eventually called and Albaz tabled A♣K♥ for a flopped full house, and Cajigas tossed his cards into the muck and left himself with a little more than a bowl of rice to play with.

Preflop Action, Anticlimactic Conclusion

Stewart Morrison

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

An action-packed preflop kicked off with a raise to 3,000 from the under-the-gun player. Christopher Bell made the call from the cutoff, and the small blind came along too. Adrian Thorne, in the big blind, then three-bet to 23,000.

The under-the-gun player then took a moment to consider his options before folding, but Bell took the opposite route. With action back on him, he moved all in for 105,500. The small blind promptly folded, returning the action to Thorne.

Thorne went into the tank. Confirming the stack size of Bell, before beginning to formulate what he wanted to do. After two or so minutes, he made the call.

It was an anticlimactic end to the hand, as both players flipped over ace-king offsuit. There was no bad beat to be had, and the players chopped the pot.

Tim Baker

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a preflop raising war between Ben Warrington and Kyle Grupp, all of Warrington's 260,000 or so chips got into the middle with Grupp making the call to try and eliminate him.

Ben Warrington: KxKx All in
Kyle Grupp: A♦A♣

Warrington was on the wrong side of a classic preflop cooler and needed to find a king to double-up. The 4♥10♥J♣ flop was safe for Grupp's bullets. The rest of the board came 7♦Q♥, and Grupp won the pot of over half a million, while Warrington was out.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Carmen Raiche-Marsden, who entered the dinner break as chipleader of the Red section, raised to 3,000 in middle position. It folded to Raj Vohra in the big blind, who defended.

The flop fell 3♣8♠K♣. Vohra checked before he called the 3,000 Raiche-Marsden put in the middle. Raiche-Marsden sized up to 11,000 on the 5♣ turn, again seeing her opponent check-call.

Vohra checked for a third time on the K♠ river, and Raiche-Marsden checked back. Vohra tabled 8♦6♥ for kings and eights, but Raiche-Marsden had Q♥Q♦ for kings and queens to take the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Timothy Joyner check-raised to 6,000 from the small blind after Micah Raskin in the cutoff bet 3,000 on a flop of J♠2♣9♣ and a pot of around 15,000. Raskin called to see the turn.

The dealer peeled 3♥ and Joyner bet 120,000 which covered Raskin, who only had 15,000 behind. Raskin made the call putting himself at risk.

Micah Raskin: J♣4♣ All in
Timothy Joyner: K♣K♦

Raskin had top pair with a flush draw, but it couldn't beat Joyner's pocket kings. To Joyner's surprise and dismay, the river J♦ fell giving Raskin trips.

The dealer pushed the pot to Raskin while Joyner kept quiet looking frustrated.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Rania Nasreddine opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Robert Shoemaker in the cutoff and Stephen Decker in the big blind.

On the A♥7♣2♣ flop, Decker checked to Nasreddine who continued for 4,500 and was called by both Shoemaker and Decker.

Decker checked once more on the 3♥ turn as Nasreddine sized up to 12,000. Shoemaker quickly moved all in for 42,000, Decker folded, and Nasreddine snap called.

Robert Shoemaker: A♠7♠ All in
Rania Nasreddine: A♣10♥

Shoemaker flopped top two and Nasreddine also paired her ace, but she had just three outs to eliminate Shoemaker. Luckily for him, the river was the 9♥ and he held on to secure the full double at the expense of Nasreddine.

Cherish Andrews raised to 3,000 from middle position and in the cutoff, Robert Kuhn three-bet to 9,000 to see only Andrews call.

Robert Kuhn: K♥J♦ All in
Cherish Andrews: 10♠8♠

Andrews hit her second card on the 8♥ turn to improve to two pair, then further improved to a flush on the 7♠ river and Kuhn was eliminated from the tournament.
